What is Natural Skincare and is it Safe for My Skin?
The word natural, whether in the skincare, food, cosmetic, or supplement industries, is a term that tends to be attached to labels and marketing campaigns primarily to sell products.
Is It a Good Idea to Alternate Between Products or Change Them Depending on the Season or Climate?
Building the perfect skincare regimen can be a long task, especially if we do so through trial and error and without the guidance of skincare professionals.
Why Do I Need a Specific Product Regimen for My Skin Type
Most of us have a basic understanding of our skin type. Some of us have dry skin, some are prone to excess oil and acne breakouts, and some have difficulty finding products that don’t aggravate our already sensitive complexions.
What is the Shelf Life of My Lumen Products?
All LUMEN products have an expiration date. These will vary from one product to the next and depend on the original date of purchase.

In recent years, the importance of good skincare has become increasingly popular among people of all ages. In the past, products sold purely for their cosmetic appeal dominated the field of at-home skincare.
Your Skincare Journey
When evaluating skincare products, it’s important to remember that our skin—in addition to performing the many roles it does in keeping our bodies protected from outside harm—has its own unique needs.
What is Growth Factor?
You may have noticed that some of our LUMEN products now contain the suffix “+ GF.” In this article, we will discuss this addition to our skincare line and go over the many benefits it provides our products and our clients.
A Simple Guide to Vitamin A
Just as the rest of our body benefits greatly from a daily dose of vitamins, so does our skin. When applied topically, and in the right formulation, vitamins help protect our skin from certain external stressors while encouraging and stimulating natural processes deep within the skin that keep our complexions youthful and vibrant.
Renewal of Aging Tissue with Renew & Restore for Lips
The skin of our lips is delicate. It reacts differently than the skin on the rest of our body, and its unique structure requires an equally unique approach to keeping our lip tissue protected, healthy, and beautiful.

Skin Renewal and a Sunscreen Partnership
Our Body Renewal Serum is unique to our line of LUMEN skincare products, as it is the only product formulated specifically for use on broad areas of the body.

A Guide to Lumen Exfoliation Pads
As we age, our skin no longer has the ability to renew itself on a regular basis and needs some outside assistance to turnover new cells. It is important, then, that we prioritize exfoliation in our skincare regimens, but determining which form of exfoliation best suits your skin type can be tricky without the proper guidance.
What’s in Your Sunscreen?
There is no product more integral to the health of our skin than sunscreen. And yet, with all its ability to protect our complexions from premature aging and our skin cells from developing life-threatening cancers, sunscreen remains one of the least understood and under-utilized skincare products on the market.
The Real Effect of Vitamin C in Skincare
As our bodies cannot make vitamin C, we rely on our diets and supplementation to provide this extremely important nutrient. Topically, vitamin C offers antioxidant protection against UVA, UVB, and environmental pollutants, as well as skin brightening capabilities and collagen stimulation.

While everyone’s skin is unique, there are a few certainties that are universal to us all. One certainty is the reduced production of collagen and elastin as we get older.
